POKéMON DERPIZARD
Before you dismiss this hack as stupid or not worthy of your time, I would like to let you know, this is what I would like to call a "comedy" hack. This hack isn't meant to have a nice unique storyline or loveable charactors. It is meant for someone to be able to come home to after a long day and be able to sit down and laugh a bit at the sheer stupidity involved in the making of this hack.

The idea for POKéMON DERPIZARD was formed during an IRC conversation over at RHO. Basically, we were all throwing around the funny looking sprties that went into the Japensese RED and GREEN versions when the sprite for Charizard came up.

This image looked so derpy to us that Clacla named it DERPIZARD and I decided it needed a hack of its own. The origional conversation can be found here:

<shinyquagsire> lol, the japenese R/G mew looks so weird.

<Karatekid552> personally, this will be really easy
<Karatekid552> I just have to make one, and point everything to that one
<Karatekid552> can you do OW's? I'm not good with them
<Clacla> Derpizard used Splash on Derpizard! It Was Super Effective! Derpizard took 0
damage
<Clacla> i have an idea for the ow
<Clacla> ows are what size?
<Karatekid552> I have to go.... I have break next week so I'm going to make then. hit me up

If anyone wants part of this coversation removed, it can be, just let me know.

So, I spent the next week drawing DERPIZARD fishing and swimming and biking. I replaced every single in game sprite with his beautiful face and finally, POKéMON DERPIZARD was as finished as I could make it. It looks goofy, but it should be quite interesting and very laughable to play. I hope everyone enjoys playing it as much as I did making it.

Features:

Basically, it is the same thing as Ruby, just every single mention of POKéMON has been replaced with DERPIZARD. From overworlds, to sprites, to just plain text, everything was replaced.

Also, from what I hear, this is the first hack in which the flying animation has been changed.:D (If it isn't just let me know.)

Screenshots:

On a final note, I have taken this hack as far as I can possibly take it with my current artistic ability. If someone else would like to improve it, be my guest. Just send me a pm with some of your work.:)

Things I would like to implement, but just don't have the skill for:

Spoiler:

Acro bike wheelie over worlds
New Tiles
Higher quality copyright and titlescreens
An animated player backsprite

Finally, anyone who has ever posted on PC and RHO or created a GBA hacking tool. I have read thousands of posts in my short time here and used almost every single tool in the book and I have learned a ton from everyone around me. The list of thank yous is far too long and I would end up forgetting too many people. So if you ever posted any hacking information, I learned it from you.:D
